(b) Sponges show cell aggregate body organization. Cell tissue organization appears in coelenterates. Platyhelminthes show tissue organ organization. Hydra is a genus of small, fresh-water organisms of the phylum Cnidaria and class Hydrozoa. They are native to the temperate and tropical regions. Biologists are especially interested in Hydra because of their regenerative ability - they do not appear to die of old age, or indeed to age at all.
